Sparks Tells How Settlers on Forfeited
Indemnity Lands May Secure Title.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 29.-In the
light of the tremendous agitation in the
Northwest over the conflicting claims of
squatters and purchasers of railroad in
demnity lands, letter received to-day
from Commissioner Sparks is of
special Importance as it puts the depart
ment on record as recognizing the rights
of purchasers. Mr.. Sparks says that an
actual settler on restored railroad lands,
who holds deed from the railroad COM
pany. can secure title from the
government under the pre-emption or
homestead laws, provided that he has
not exhausted his privilege Hereunder
and that the lands are open to settle
ment. Under these conditions, bona
fide purchasers of the railroad company,
if qualified as to citizenship, their heirs
or assigns, may make payment to the
United States for such lands at the ordi-
nary government price for like lands,
and receive patents therefor.

on July 30. The liabilities were between

claimed, more than double that amount
The appraisers, however, found that the
assets consisted principally o. worthless
stocks and merchandise in ware houses
On which advances had been made, in
sC:ne cases equal to tie full value OF the
goods, and notes made and indorsed by
Phillips and his associates. The savings
fund depositors were mostly working
people who had deposited the savings Of

amounting TO about $50 go.

Alleged AccompIice.
DELPHI, Ind, Oct. 2S.-Great excite
ment is caused here by the announce
ment that nolle prosequi has been en-
tered in the case of William Walker, the
alleged accomplice OF Ami Green in the
abduction and murder of Luella Nab
bett, for which Green was lynched last
week. Walkers release came like a
slap in the face to the community here,
who had thought that every effort would
be made to satisfy the country people in
the Mabbett neighborhood that tue law
could and would be enforced. Express
sions of discomfort ranged from most
vigorous profanity TO the well-weighted
opinion that it was ill-advised, according
to the testimony taken at Walkers pre-
liminary hearing, when he was held un-
der 8 900 bonds.
